Is Division No. 7, Subdivision E a good place to live?

Division No. 7, Subdivision E grades C overall, better than 26% of Canadian towns, and ranks #20 of 32 in Newfoundland and Labrador. Health is its weak spot (D−). It also trails on jobs & income (D−). Housing is within reach (A).

This town's rent is the 2021 census rent scaled to 2025 by its province's ratio of surveyed to census rents: no rental survey covers it, so its Cost Grade is less sure. Safety less sure: no police service names this town, so its crime figure is the nearest police detachment's, shared with a wider area. No School Grade: this province doesn't publish comparable results school by school. Health is graded on the health region's survey figures and life expectancy, with the distance to hospital giving the town its own spread.
